With more than 60 films appearances to his name, legendary Monty Python comedian John Cleese is not exactly choosy about his roles.how else can we explain his involvement in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle? Nonetheless, Cleese's unique brand of humor still packs a wallop, so it's enticing to see he has joined the cast of the upcoming comedy Hunting Elephants. The film will be Israeli director Reshef Levi's follow-up to his heralded debut Lost Islands. Hunting Elephants centers on a 12-year-old Israeli boy named Jonathan, who is dealt a cruel double-blow by fate. First his father is killed in a freak accident while working at the local bank. Then, not only does the bank deny fault, they also declare they'll repossess the boy's home. Pushed to the brink, the boy must find money fast, and so decides to rob the bank that's offended him. But he needs a team. Unfortunately for...

This week in Israel, television's The Mediator returns for its third season. We normally don't discuss television on the site, but it's worth mentioning that there is a significant television series ideas output that is landing in the U.S. It was announced that Fox has acquired the rights for an American remake. Quite a few Israeli TV shows found their ways to American smaller screens in recent years via remakes (the most known would be In Treatment), but this particular case is a little bit weird, for the creators themselves admit to be have been inspired by such American crime myths as The Sopranos and The Godfather.
